    Nothing cookie-cutter about this clever couple’s modern Dallas wedding

    Julia Bunch
    Dec 23, 2016 | 1:32 pm

    Diana Lopez and Jared Morris first met as college freshmen, though they went to schools nearly seven hours apart. Diana attended the University of Texas at Arlington; Jared attended Eastern New Mexico University. But the pair met at an annual summer internship program in Arlington.

    “We would talk during the summers, then go back to our respective colleges in the fall,” Diana says. “When we graduated and were both living in Dallas, we finally started to date in a real way.”

    But a job transfer for Jared landed the couple in a long distance relationship, then both living in Minneapolis, and eventually Houston (where they live now).

    In August 2015, Jared planned a joint birthday celebration for himself and Diana in Dallas, where their families live. Diana (and most of the guests) didn’t know the birthday celebration was a ruse for an engagement party.

    “I knew it was rare to have a lot of family in town at the same time,” Jared says. “I surprised her at Lake Ray Hubbard at a cool spot with a dock and some fountains. After we got engaged privately, we surprised many of [the party guests] with the engagement.”

    Jared and Diana wed on March 26, 2016, at the Nasher Sculpture Center. Jared wanted a modern, urban wedding. Diana wanted an outdoor wedding. The Nasher accomplished both goals.

    Wendy Kay at Birds of a Feather Events helped the couple bring their unique vision to life with Art Deco invitations and cakes, and an agate stone backdrop and seating chart. Diana used her gold engagement ring and the Nasher’s lush greens as color inspiration, and accented with a rich plum in the flowers. Diana mirrored the delicacy of her Anna Campbell wedding gown for the aesthetic of the wedding.

    After an indoor ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour, Mr. and Mrs. Morris danced to the Bee Gees’ “More Than a Woman.” A sit-down dinner of filet mignon, sea bass, cauliflower gratin, and veggies by Wolfgang Puck Catering allowed guests to fuel up dancing.

    Emerald City Band, a band the couple had seen together many times, got all 120 guests on their feet by the end of the night.

    The couple tried to make their day as unique and personalized as possible. “For any wedding traditions that were cookie-cutter, we tried to go in the other direction,” Jared says.

    But that didn’t keep Jared from cherishing the most classic moment from his wedding day.

    “Seeing Diana all happy and smiling during our first look — I’ll remember that moment forever,” he says. “It was the private moments we shared when no one else was looking that meant the most to me.”

    Post Malone to headline 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball

    Post Malone will play at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on May 9, 2025.

    Superstar singer/rapper Post Malone will headline the 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch.

    "Cattle Baron's Ball is thrilled to announce Grammy-nominated global superstar Post Malone as the headlining entertainer for the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball, the world's largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society," the organization announced in an email to subscribers on May 15.

    The 52nd Cattle Baron's Ball will take place October 25, 2025 under the leadership of co-chairs Courtney Derderian and Nina Sachse. They've chosen the theme "All Cylinders."

    Chandler Walters will be the VIP Stage Performer. He's best known as the writer of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's hit song "I Had Some Help" and is currently on tour with Post Malone.

    Post Malone is no stranger to DFW; his family moved to Grapevine when he was 10 years old when his dad got a job as manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.

    His most recent show in DFW was "Post Malone Presents: The BIG ASS Stadium Tour," which played to a rollicking crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday, May 9. The tour was in support of Post's debut country album, 2024's F-1 Trillion, his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, and two songs from the album were also nominated for Grammys.

    Since 1974, Cattle Baron's Ball has raised over $105 million for cancer research. The 2025 ball is presented by Texas Oncology, with entertainment sponsored by White Rhino Coffee.

    The early-bird ticket deadline for the always sold-out ball has been extended to June 1, organizers say. Following that, all tickets, tables, and underwriting levels will increase by 10 percent. According to the website, ticket and table packages currently run $3,500 to $150,500.

    For more information, tables and tickets, visit the CBB website.
